portable hard drive playstation 3 image
Mr Alby C
I want to know if a xbox needs a modchip to play games that are uploaded online and available for download. I was planning on getting the iso for 007 nightfire, but wasn't sure about the whole process and didn't want to waste a perfectly good blank dvd.
Answer
Don't listen to the first answer.
You do not *need* a modchip in order to play copied games.
There is a hardware mod ( shortened to hard mod)
and a Software mod (shortened to soft mod)
The hard-mod is a HARDWARE based MODIFICATION. This is the where all modchips fall into. This is basically telling the mother board to allow skip and allow copied games. It's basically like insecting a 3rd party into your brain and them brain washing you to allow certain things and then you obey.
Softmod's are usually cheaper and easier then hard-mods if you don't want to open your console to much or not familiar with soldering things onto mother boards.Softmods are also CHEAPER then hardmods because the mod chips required can be a little pricey. Softmods are also very common in Sony PlayStation Portables, Xbox (original) and even Nintendo Wii's.
If you want to mod your Xbox ( I have done this and can vouch for this) try this. It's 100% free if you have the materials already. Like a screw-driver and what not:http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-softmod-your-xbox...for-FREE/
The above link is the way I modded my Xbox over a year ago.
Another version of a softmod is here. this costs a bit of money but it's not too much. If I had the money I would have done it this way because it would have saved me time, and the hassle:

After you have found out how to mod your xbox watch this video I reccomend on burning Xbox games:

Hope I can help and enjoy modding your Xbox!
Here are somethings modding your Xbox can lead to:
*Linux
*internet Browser
*GBA,NES,SNES and other old school games on Xbox
*Store FULL xbox games onto the Xbox's hard drive
*Upgrade the hard drive
*Easy FTP Access once modded.
*Change Themes/Settings
*Homebrew Application
*Email!
*User accounts on Xbox, which you can make your own passwords ttoo.
Just be careful when modding. There was a certain file, i think .XBE file and well I accidently deleted it and that was the end...
What is the difference between the regular ps3 and the ps3 slim?
Mickey
Thinking of buying a ps3 but I am not sure of which one to buy
Answer PS3 SLIM
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002I0J4VQ?tag=dcmb-20
COMPARED TO PLAYSTATION 3 "FAT"
A LOT SMALLER
I heard that it was smaller, but seeing is believing! The photos don't do the system justice, and it's not really till you see and feel the difference that you are impressed with it. If you can, go into your local game store and check it out for yourself! If you've previously owned a Playstation console, you already know the difference the slimmer version makes when compared to the original, bulky ones. What's really convenient is that the slimmer PS3 not only means your video gaming is more portable, but that you have a really convenient Blu-Ray player.
NOT A FINGERPRINT MAGNET
I love the sleek look of my PS3 Fat, but don't like how it constantly needs to be cleaned. The glossy finish is a fingerprint magnet! The matte finish on the Slim is much easier to maintain. That being said, it doesn't look as shiny and cool, but I think its convenience outweighs that.
MORE STORAGE
Storage was never an issue for me on my 80GB system, but for those who wanted more storage, you get 40GB more with this system (120GB in total). It may not seem like much, but you can hold MANY movies, pictures, and
music albums with 120GB. If that's still not enough, you can always install a 2.5" hard drive yourself, or better yet, plug in an external hard drive in one of the USB ports. You can easily get a portable 500GB external hard drive for less than $100, or a bigger, bulkier one with around 1TB of storage for roughly the same. That being said, I think 120GB for $300 should be more than enough for most users, and is a significant improvement over the 80GB for $400 that people were paying just a few weeks ago!
STILL NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE
This is my one major gripe with the Playstation 3. It really wouldn't have killed Sony to include this feature, as the original Playstation 3's did in fact include backwards compatibility with older Playstation 2 games. A lot of people counter by either saying (1) it doesn't make sense to buy a PS3 to play PS2 games, (2) the graphics on the PS3 are better anyway so why bother with older games, and (3) including backwards compatibility would cannibalize PS3 game sales.
While those arguments might have their merits, I'm still frustrated that my massive PS2 library can't be played on the PS3, and was really hoping that Sony would include backwards compatibility on the Slim! I loved the fact the PS2 was backwards compatible with PS1 games, and really wish that Sony would reconsider this decision.
